Question 1

What Are Your Travel Costs?

Accepted Answer

Travel costs (Lodging, transportation, airfare, food, etc) are not included in pricing. A 2-night minimum stay is required for most out- of-state weddings and a 1-night stay if the wedding destination is more than 3 hours from Castle Rock, CO. I am always willing to fly the cheapest option/ carpool / etc.

Question 2

How far in advance should we book you for our wedding?

Accepted Answer

Typically, couples book me about 13 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.

Question 3

Do you work with assistants or other photographers?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes, I’ll bring one or more assistant photographers depending on the size of your wedding. This will not cost you extra if you book my eight hour wedding package! I do have experience shooting weddings solo but it is highly recommended to hire a second shooter with over 150 guests and larger bridal parties!

Question 4

Will you edit all our pictures?

Accepted Answer

Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful.

Question 5

What Is A Second- Shooter?

Accepted Answer

A second shooter is another photographer I hire to work with me on your wedding day! Two photographers gives me the opportunity to catch all the special moments from different perspectives since I can't be in two places at one time! This will be someone who shares my similar style, is experienced and I trust with all my heart and will be able to help with the flow of the day.

Question 6

How many pictures will we get?

Accepted Answer

You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.

Question 7

Do You Know How To Shoot In Low-Light?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I have two external sources of light I like to use depending on your reception location. I am experienced with off-camera flash as well as a light bar. I typically tend to wait until it is completely dark in order to use as much of the natural light as possible!

Question 8

What’s your back-up plan if you can’t photograph our wedding as planned?

Accepted Answer

In my 3 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.

Question 9

"We Are Not Photogenic..."

Accepted Answer

Don't worry! Very rarely do my clients have any previous photo experience together and that's ok! I like to direct and not pose, this goes for engagement pictures and your big day. Sure I'll capture big smiles but I want to see your relationship shine through these images so I make sure you're having fun and as comfortable as possible!

Question 10

What Venues Do You Have Experience At?

Accepted Answer

For a lot of my weddings, I have no prior experience of seeing the wedding venue beforehand and that is ok! Some of the venues I have experience with are The Manor House, Haystack Hearth, North Star Gatherings, River bend Lyons, Spruce Mountain Ranch, Beaver Creek Resort, Willow Ridge Manor, Black Canyon Inn & More!

Question 11

Do You Backup Your Photos?

Accepted Answer

The night of your wedding I make sure that all RAW files are backed up to three separate resources at one time so they are as safe and secure as possible!

Question 12

How long will it take to see our pictures?

Accepted Answer

My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-6 weeks after your wedding. Within this time, you can also expect to receive a sneak peek gallery about 48 hours after your wedding date to enjoy and share with friend in the timebeing!
